  • Transmission of Han Pictorial Motifs Into the Western Periphery: Fuxi and Nüwa in the Wei-Jin Mural Tombs in the Hexi Corridor*8
    DOI: 10.4312/as.2019.7.2.47-86 47 Transmission of Han Pictorial Motifs into the Western Periphery: Fuxi and Nüwa in the Wei-Jin Mural Tombs in the Hexi Corridor*8 ∗∗ Nataša VAMPELJ SUHADOLNIK 9 Abstract This paper examines the ways in which Fuxi and Nüwa were depicted inside the mu- ral tombs of the Wei-Jin dynasties along the Hexi Corridor as compared to their Han counterparts from the Central Plains. Pursuing typological, stylistic, and iconographic approaches, it investigates how the western periphery inherited the knowledge of the divine pair and further discusses the transition of the iconographic and stylistic design of both deities from the Han (206 BCE–220 CE) to the Wei and Western Jin dynasties (220–316). Furthermore, examining the origins of the migrants on the basis of historical records, it also attempts to discuss the possible regional connections and migration from different parts of the Chinese central territory to the western periphery. On the basis of these approaches, it reveals that the depiction of Fuxi and Nüwa in Gansu area was modelled on the Shandong regional pattern and further evolved into a unique pattern formed by an iconographic conglomeration of all attributes and other physical characteristics. Accordingly, the Shandong region style not only spread to surrounding areas in the central Chinese territory but even to the more remote border regions, where it became the model for funerary art motifs. Key Words: Fuxi, Nüwa, the sun, the moon, a try square, a pair of compasses, Han Dynasty, Wei-Jin period, Shandong, migration Prenos slikovnih motivov na zahodno periferijo: Fuxi in Nüwa v grobnicah s poslikavo iz obdobja Wei Jin na območju prehoda Hexi Izvleček Pričujoči prispevek v primerjalni perspektivi obravnava upodobitev Fuxija in Nüwe v grobnicah s poslikavo iz časa dinastij Wei in Zahodni Jin (220–316) iz province Gansu * The author acknowledges the financial support of the Slovenian Research Agency (ARRS) in the framework of the research core funding Asian languages and Cultures (P6-0243).

  • The Construction and Application of an Aledo-NDVI Based Desertification Monitoring Model
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Procedia Environmental Sciences 10 ( 2011 ) 2029 – 2035 2011 3rd International Conference on Environmental Science and InformationConference Application Title Technology (ESIAT 2011) The Construction and Application of an Aledo-NDVI Based Desertification Monitoring Model Zongyi Ma a, Yaowen Xie*b, Jizong Jiao, Linlin li, Xiangqian Wang a* Key Laboratory of West China’s Environment System (Ministry of Education) Lanzhou University, Lanzhou, 730000, China [email protected] Abstract A desertification monitoring model was constructed and applied in a region nearby Gaotai Country, China, where undergoing a typical desertification process. First, the surface albedo and vegetation index were retrieved. And by statistical regression analysis, the quantitative relationship between albedo and NDVI of different desertification land was determined, and found they have good correlation with the coefficient 0.7707. Based on this, the model of desertification monitoring was constructed; then, using decision tree to classify the desertified land and evaluate the quantitative relationship of them by natural breaks method; finally, Quick Bird image was used to test the classifying results and the overall accuracy of the model reaches 84.071%. The study shows that the indexes of the model can reflect the desertification land surface cover, the water-heat combination and their changes. It can make full use of multi-dimensional remote sensing information and can achieve the automatic identification of desertified land. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

  • Capital Formation and Agriculture Development in China Jikun Huang
    Capital Formation and Agriculture Development in China Jikun Huang Center for Chinese Agricultural Policy Chinese Academy of Sciences And Hengyun Ma College of Economics and Management Henan Agricultural University A Report Submitted to FAO, Rome August 2010 Capital Formation and Agriculture Development in China 1. Introduction In the post World War II era, modern development economists mostly agree that the role of agriculture and rural development is absolutely an integral part to process of nation building and healthy development (Johnston and Mellor, 1961; Johnston, 1970). Agriculture plays five important roles in the development of an economy: i) supplying high quality labor to factories, constructions sites and the service sector; ii) producing low cost food which will keep wages down for workers in the industrial sector; iii) producing fiber and other crops that can be inputs to production in other parts of the economy; iv) supplying commodities that can be exported and earn foreign exchange which can help finance imports of key technology packages and capital equipment; v) raising rural incomes. The view toward agricultural and rural development in the modern world has changed dramatically in the past several decades. Traditionally, agriculture was thought of an inferior partner in development. Since the size of the sector falls during development, it was logically considered that it could be ignored. Why is that leaders would ever want to invest in a sector that is shrinking? Some academics urged policy makers to treat agriculture like a black box from which resources could be costlessly extracted (Lewis, 1954). All investment was supposed to be targeted at the industry and the cities.

  • Water Efficient Irrigation and Environmentally Sustainable Irrigated Rice Production in China
    WATER EFFICIENT IRRIGATION AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE IRRIGATED RICE PRODUCTION IN CHINA Mao Zhi Professor, Department of Irrigation and Drainage, Wuhan University, Wuhan, 430072, P.R.China ABSTRACT Rice is one of the most important food crops contributing over 39% of the total food grain production in China. Out of 113 million hectares of area sown under food crops 28% is covered by rice. The traditional irrigation regime for rice, termed as “continuous deep flooding irrigation” was applied in China before 1970s. A tremendous amount of water was used for the rice growing and only a low yield of rice was obtained under this regime. Since 1980s, the industry water supply, urban and rural domestic water consumption have been increasing continuously. The shortage of water resources became an important problem and many water efficient irrigation regimes for rice have been tested, advanced, applied and spread in different regions of China. Based on the results of experiment and the experience of spread of these new irrigation regimes, the following three main kinds of water efficient irrigation regimes were found to be contributing to the sustainable increased water productivity viz. (1) combining shallow water depth with wetting and drying, (2)alternate wetting and drying and (3) semi-dry cultivation. In this paper, the standard of controlling field water, conditions and the attention points of the application for the three regimes are introduced and explained.. The causes of sustainable increase in water productivity and the environmental impacts by adopting these regimes are analyzed and discussed. 1. INTRODUCTION China is a major rice producing country having about 31 million ha under rice paddy cultivation.

Received: 2 April 2018; Accepted: 18 April 2018; Published: 21 April 2018 Abstract: Sustainable food production and food security are always challenging issues in China. This paper constructs a multi-element two-level constant-elasticity-of-substitution (CES) model to assess technological progress in, and its contribution to, japonica rice production in China. The results show that the speed of technological progress in the production of japonica rice on average was 0.44% per annum in 1985–2013, and technological progress has contributed significantly to the growth of japonica rice production in China. Robustness checks show that the results appear to be sensitive to which sub-sample is used. Labour and some other inputs are found to be significant but negative, especially during the middle sampling period of 1994–2006 and in eastern and western regions. This has important policy implications on the impact of rural-to-urban migration and farmers’ human development. Keywords: China’s food policy; sustainable food security system; japonica rice production; two-level CES function; technological progress 1.
